Yes, but a mixed drink has calories from the alcohol and from the mix, whereas shots don't have the mix. My preferred drink is a rye and coke, so it's easy to make that with diet, but a lot of mixed drinks add many more calories than that.

822 they have the same as beer but not if you have like a margarita or rum and coke because then your having the shot plus the calories of the Coke or whatever drink mix and those margs can have hundreds sometimes upward of 1,000 calories
